    Tony Pollard’s Injuries Are Worse Than You Realize, Trevor Lawrence, C.J. Stroud, and Contextualizing QB Data: Going Deep with Brandon Angelo and Matt Waldman

    On this week's episode of the Going Deep podcast, Brandon Angelo and Matt Waldman discuss Tony Pollard's struggles, a recently cut RB of value, Trevor Lawrence, C.J. Stroud, and the need to contextualize quarterback data.   Brandon Angelo works in sports and human performance. A former 4-time All-American and Power Five conference champion sprinter, Brandon is a mentor, instructor, and guide for athletes. He's also the proprietor of Angelo Analysis, a subscription-based fantasy website devoted to player evaluation. After doing a few podcasts together during the past 12 months, Brandon and I decided we would enjoy having a recurring show to discuss aspects of player evaluation and NFL Draft topics that you don't often hear about in mainstream media. This pre-draft pod about the NFL's disparities with 40 times and several more '23 draft and free agent topics is a must-listen. Going Deep will feature podcasts twice a month. You can either watch/listen on YouTube, listen from the player at the bottom of the page, or download the podcast at most outlets, including Google, Spotify, and iTunes. This Week's Topics Trevor Lawrence's data paints a worse picture than the film and the film don't lie. C.J. Stroud is off to a strong start, but placing him in the elite category of passers is premature. Quarterback data often lacks necessary contextualization and why that impacts scouting and media. Tony Pollard's decline in production has to do with injury. Brandon explains the difference between being ready to play and being healthy enough to play their best. Why players end up in situations where they are ready to play but often never return to their top form. A recently cut RB who has starter value and is at least worth monitoring.

    Towing the Line: Khari Demos’ Week 0 Line Report & Scouting Recap

    Play Episode Listen Later Sep 1, 2023 0:33


    Khari Demos joins Matt Waldman's RSP site this season to profile college football's trenches while keeping an eye on standout offensive skill players. This week, Demos dives into the games of Notre Dame left tackle Joe Alt and USC guard Alani Noa and puts us on notice with QB Sam Hartman and RB Austin Jones. Fall is almost upon us. The night is arriving faster and stores are already stocked for Halloween. Another batch of goodies is also here for us to feast upon: college football season.  One of the coolest treats of the college football landscape is Week 0. Week 0 can often be a certified payday weekend, meaning Power 5 schools host programs from the Group of 5 in what often are mismatches on the field in exchange for a fine payout. While there was some of that to kick off the 2023 season, we also got to see a few of the best teams (and players) in college football right off the bat. Since I will note a lot of the offensive line work throughout the season, let's start with arguably the best one in the country: Notre Dame Left Tackle Joe Alt. Towing the Line: LT Joe Alt, Notre Dame The son of Kansas City Chiefs Hall of Famer John Alt, the North Oaks, MN native has a rare blend of size (6-foot-8, 315 pounds) and athleticism. This makes that much more sense considering the fact that he played tight end in high school and began his career with the Fighting Irish as one. The 2022 First-Team All-American selection is expected to be a top-10 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. So, a player of his stature should be able to handle his own against a Navy defensive front that had speed to offer, but far less size to combat with Alt and ND's fellow starters up front. And the big fella did not disappoint with his efforts. But I will say, there are pieces of his game that he will need to address with matchups against the likes of Ohio State, USC, and Clemson still on the slate. What I think he did a much better job of in Week 0 in comparison to what he did at times throughout his first two years in South Bend was finishing blocks. You can see here on tape here at the 13:41, 12:23, 10:23, and 9:05 marks throughout the first quarter against Navy (and shoutout to @DoABarrowRoll on YouTube for some help there) as times when he really anchored in and handled business in the run game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RQilRHoDfg&t=38s https://youtu.be/3RQilRHoDfg?t=67 https://youtu.be/3RQilRHoDfg?t=107 https://youtu.be/3RQilRHoDfg?t=121 This is the peak of what he can be as a road grader with his elite size. The problem, though, is that his rawness and need to continue adding strength to his frame can be very evident at moments in the run game. An example of this would be the two-play stretch here. One thing I will say about Alt is that he almost always covers people up and knows how to cut them off. The issue is that he is more times than not just position blocking when he does that, which can work against the likes of the Navy Midshipmen. https://youtu.be/3RQilRHoDfg?t=38 But ultimately, Pitt, or Louisville, or whoever else ND will see down the line, should offer a stiffer form of competition that may need more than that (not to mention once he makes his way to the NFL). What I will say about Alt is he is a master in pass protection (and the numbers back this up for him). Just look at the footwork and ability to adjust properly to the Midshipmen's stunt upfront in this play. https://youtu.be/3RQilRHoDfg?t=271 The guy is truly a dancing bear, and he projects to be a long-time starting tackle in the NFL who would thrive in an offensive system that prioritizes movement in the run game (i.e. outside zone scheme) as well as a commitment to basing the offense around the passing attack. Alt should be starting for an NFL organization for a decade or more once he makes his NFL debut most likely in 2024. Again, great all-around showing from Alt in Week 0. But it will be interesting to see what he is able ...

Players Matt and Jeff believe wound up in situations that hurt their prospects more than any negative on their scouting reports. A player Jeff and Matt are taking as much as possible during the first five rounds of 2023 fantasy drafts. A player they're frequently passing on during the first five rounds. Jeff and Matt each name three players they aren't drafting but they could be by the end of training camp. Two talents from the 2024 class who has caught the eyes of Jeff and Matt. How Jeff and Matt would change one aspect of an NFL organization to improve that team's fortunes. Predicting two big surprises for the 2023 NFL season.

    Signal vs. Noise in NFL Camps: Going Deep with Angelo and Waldman

    On episode two of the Going Deep podcast, Brandon Angelo and Matt Waldman discuss the NFL camp news on players that we believe are more signal or more noise as well as players whose production could be on the decline. https://youtu.be/BctSapkvF5M Brandon Angelo works in sports and human performance. A former 4-time All-American and Power Five conference champion sprinter, Brandon is a mentor, instructor, and guide for athletes. He's also the proprietor of Angelo Analysis, a subscription-based fantasy website devoted to player evaluation. After doing a few podcasts together during the past 12 months, Brandon and I decided we would enjoy having a recurring show to discuss aspects of player evaluation and NFL Draft topics that you don't often hear about in mainstream media. This pre-draft pod about the NFL's disparities with 40 times and several more '23 draft and free agent topics is a must-listen. Going Deep will feature podcasts twice a month. You can either watch/listen on YouTube, listen from the player at the bottom of the page, or download the podcast at most outlets, including Google, Spotify, and iTunes. This Week's Topics Why Brandon Aiyuk's 2022 season served notice that he's about to become a top primary NFL receiver. Aiyuk's development and the addition of Christian McCaffrey; what it means for the production of George Kittle and Deebo Samuel. The Detroit news on Jahmyr Gibbs makes Gibbs Angelo's favorite rookie and not at David Montgomery's expense. How Philadelphia's offense could make D'Andre Swift's job easier. Spoiler alert: It's not the offensive line. Waldman believes there's a potential scenario for Dalton Kincaid to deliver 1,100 yards and 10 TDs in Buffalo this year. Even if that scenario doesn't occur, Waldman and Angelo believe Kincaid will still have a role to deliver top-10 TE production as a rookie. The noise and the signal of Elijah Moore's wealth of camp targets. Darren Waller is by far the primary receiver in New York. Zay Flowers is a reason why Rashod Bateman's brief opportunity to become a top producer in Baltimore may be over and the three cities where Waldman believes Bateman would be better suited to perform to his talents. Khalil Herbert may be one of the 12-15 best pure runners in the NFL but why Chicago is ultimately a bad fit for realizing Herbert's talents. The skills that make D.J. Moore far and away the top option in the Bears' passing game. Any news about Chase Claypool becoming a top producer is noise. Tyjae Spears could finally be the RB to become a legitimate running mate with Derrick Henry and why this could be Henry's last year in Tennesee.
